Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Marine Protected Areas: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Mr. Richard Cronin:

I will be honest with you, Chair, and say I do not have a specific answer to that question. I can find out for you. What I can say, going back to one of my earlier comments in my opening statement, is that, depending on the conservation objective of a marine protected area, a human activity may take place within it. Again, however, there is a level of subtlety to that. I can find out that information for the committee and confirm that in writing.
